Torn between Black and DTR

[MM ftw]

hey guys! im new around these forums and just wanted to say hi to everyone out there! im lookin into getting my MM soon (after patiently waiting for 3+ years) and im torn between black and DTR. i really like them both, black because.. well its black. and a slick black MM would be awesome, especially if i got a badgeless grille from zach.

but i also really like the DTR. its way more rare than black, which definitely appeals to me. Also, its a really nice shade of red that bodes awesomely with the MM.

opinions? what do all you black and DTR owners think?

Red is a slow color... adds alot of wind resistance and decreases power... go with BLACK 300A

Marauders are Black.

Grand Marquis are DTR.

The obvious solution is get one of each.

Take the money you would spend for the red one and put it towards a supercharger etc for the BLACK ONE!

Just heard this today from my uncle today: Long story short, his best friend buys a DTR MM last month. With his job, he is in and out of the downtown area a lot. When he first got it, he was thrilled telling my uncle "Man you would not believe the thumbs up and waves I get with this car". Well one day he is creeping along looking for parking and a guy runs up to the rear door and tries to get in. He jumps out and says to the guy "What the F*** is your problem"! The guy steps back and says "What do you think I need a ride". So my uncles friend says back, "What do I look like a F****** cab"! Then it dawned on him, all the thumbs up and waves where from people thinking he was a cab!!!

A very large amount of cabs in Chicago are DTR (Maybe not exactly DTR but extremely close) Crown Vics. He was devestated. I haven't seen my uncle laugh this hard in years.

To answer your question in my opinion: Either way you win. Yes black is the sharpest color of them all with the tinted headlamps and all, but the other colors are so rear that makes you stand out even more. The easy answer, worry about finding a clean one. Something not beat to the ground and well taken care of because believe me the beat up ones are definitely out there!!. Have someone with car knowledge or even better a MM.net member if you know one come with you and check the car out. Thats what I did. I looked at 3 different possible MM's and the first 2 where SHOT. The 3rd was a charm. It took me almost 14 months to find my second one. It just happen to be black again. Good luck and welcome. Great group of members and definitely the right place to be with these cars.

black is sexy but sux keeping it clean, you will see almost anything. silver almost always looks clean

i like the dtr but i dont like how the whole grille is red

Welcome aboard.

You can't go wrong with either color.
